Iraq War? Who Cares?

Outside of the $10b cost per month of the Iraq war, I really don’t care about it. I know it is going on, I know soldiers are dying, but other than that I really don’t care.

I don’t care because No Ears Bush doesn’t listen to anybody about how the American public disagrees with the war. He continues the “Continue the Course” mantra as if no one has ever said anything disagreeable to the war. So if my yelling and screaming against the war isn’t going to do any good, I am going to ignore it.

The only thing we can do is not volunteer for the army. If there are not enough members of the armed forces that will force the president to request a draft. Requesting a draft for the Iraq war will be political suicide and the country would riot. So if we can’t raise an army the government will be forced to start pulling out of the policeman roll and then maybe we will actually be able to start paying off our debt.

So my political protest of the war is don’t join the army, don’t care that soldiers are dying, and in general ignore every aspect of the war except the $10b a month price tag. Because if our soldiers did not support the war, they would not join the army.

Why I cannot Support the US Government

The US Government is supposed to be a government of the people for the people. This means it is supposed to represent the will of the people. The Constitution was written with this intention; however, the government is no longer doing its duty.

The US Government has become the government of the tyrant for the tyrant. One example of this is the FISA bill which in more legal terms says that if George Bush told you that warrantless wiretapping was legal and you allowed the government to execute warrantless wire taps then the warrantless wiretapping was legal and you cannot sue. Another example is the Iraq war, where a majority of Americans and even the Iraqis want a timetable for the US involvement to end. Yet the tyrant is again ignoring the will of the people and insisting that no timetable exist.

Those are just two examples of the government for the tyrant; however, a simple look at approval ratings in the 20% range for both Congress and the president show that the government is no longer a government that represents the will of the people.

But George Bush is leaving office in 6 months and you can elect a new president that is not a tyrant. Right?

Wrong! Both candidates have propagated the US Tyranist Government. McCain who before his presidential run followed the Republican line has voted for many of the things George Bush did that the US People did not want. Obama is supporting taking away one of the last ways the people have to fight the government. In voting for the FISA bill Obama has supported removing the ability to sue because George Bush said it was legal. Whatever happened to judicial oversight to prevent a tyrany?

The second amendment to the constitution, the right to bear arms, was created to provide the people with a last recourse against the government becoming too powerful. Is now the time to take up arms against the government? No. But now is the time to boycott this upcoming presidential election. Sorry, but none of the independent candidates are much better than McCain or Obama.

So this year for president I am voting for everyone!
